Remember to download programs supporting DFL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with DFL files
If, despite the installed application, the DFL file does not start in the Microsoft Windows application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DFL file with the Microsoft Windows program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Windows with OLE2 Doc there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DFL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DFL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DFL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DFL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DFL file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DFL files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DFL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DFL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DFL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DFL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DFL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
